He appeared in the back garden of the Ren Public House.
The sound of the guzheng was loud and clear. The sound of the guzheng revealed a vast and lofty atmosphere. The person who played the guzheng must be someone with a broad mind.
Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and found that Lu Yurong was the only one in the back garden. The nine beautiful maids were all gone. They were cultivating in the house.
Lu Yurong sat alone in the gazebo. She lowered her head and concentrated on playing the guzheng. Her veil was removed, revealing a charming and beautiful face. She was dignified and serious.
Her temperament was ever-changing. Sometimes she was dignified, sometimes she was lazy.
At this moment, she was playing the guzheng with a dignified expression. She had a different kind of temperament.
The sound of the guzheng stopped. She felt a strange gaze. She turned her head and saw Chu Li.
She raised her eyebrows and said lightly, "You're here again!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled, "Lady Lu, I'm here to ask for help!"
"What's the matter?" Lu Yurong said, "I didn't cause any trouble for the Yi Public House."
Chu Li said, "I want to borrow a few Grandmasters."
"At most six." Lu Yurong said, "There are many Grandmasters in your Public House. Are you afraid that you can't control the situation?"
Chu Li nodded.
Lu Yurong scoffed, "You don't trust me?"
He borrowed them to strengthen himself and hurt her. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Li smiled, "I have this concern too. So I'll borrow Xi Wu and Elder Xi too!"
"You're dreaming, Elder Xi?!" Lu Yurong sneered, "He is the pillar of the Public House. How can he leave so easily?"
Chu Li said, "Your Public House doesn't need him during the wedding."
"It's not impossible to borrow Elder Xi. It depends on what you're willing to pay," Lu Yurong looked at him.
Chu Li pondered, "What do you need, Lady Lu?"
"I want King An's head. Can you give it to me?" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li smiled and said, "If I take King An's head, the Emperor will take mine. Lady Lu wants to kill me."
Lu Yurong said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to help me with one thing."
"What is it?" Chu Li asked.
Lu Yurong said, "There's a treasure in the Imperial Residence of King An, I need you to help me retrieve it."
"Treasure?" Chu Li smiled, "What kind of treasure does the Ren Public House not have?"
Lu Yurong furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction and said, "Do you think I'm interested in something ordinary? Are you going to help me? "
Chu Li said, "Lady Lu, please tell me what it is first."
"A jade statue." Lu Yurong said, "A jade statue of the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven."
Chu Li seemed to have realized something. "Could it be that King An stole it?"
"Hmph. Lu Yurong gritted her teeth and sneered, "If it wasn't for the Emperor, I would've killed him long ago!"
Chu Li muttered, "What's the secret behind this jade sculpture?"
"You don't need to know that!" Lu Yurong said coldly.
Chu Li smiled. "If you don't know its secret, you won't know its value. How can I agree to that? "
Lu Yu Rong looked at him confidently. "Your Public House is short of manpower, and you can still conjure up masters?!"
Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and sparkling like gems. It was mesmerizing.
Chu Li sighed. This threat really hit the nail on the head. He smiled and said, "Let me guess. It has something to do with your martial arts inheritance, right?"
Lu Yurong's charming face darkened and her gaze turned cold.
Chu Li pretended not to see and shook his head. "King An is a man. What's the point of wanting the inheritance of the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven?"
"Chu Li, you know quite a lot!" Lu Yurong said coldly. "Knowing too much might not be a good thing!"
Chu Li laughed. "Could it be that Lady Lu wants to kill me? But Lady Lu has always wanted to kill me! "
"Hmph, it's good that you know!" Lu Yurong scoffed.
Chu Li said, "If I get the jade sculpture, Lady Lu isn't afraid that I'll get the inheritance too?"
"It's just a sculpture now!" Lu Yurong said coldly.
Chu Li said slowly, "I see. If that's the case, then I'll help you get it! "
Lu Yurong smiled. "Alright!"
Chu Li said, "Then Xi Wu …?"
"Elder Xi will help." Lu Yurong said lightly, "If you deliberately set me up, don't blame me for being rude!"
Chu Li said, "I want to ask for their help to deal with the assassins. But I'm afraid that Elder Xi and the others will not put in the effort and purposely let the assassins go!"
Lu Yurong said coldly, "Then why do you ask for their help!"
Chu Li smiled. "So let's make a gentleman's agreement. If the seven of them can capture three assassins, I will personally present the jade sculpture!"
"What if you go back on your word?" Lu Yurong scoffed.
Chu Li said, "Then how about this. I will first present the jade sculpture. Lady Lu will then fulfill the agreement. How about that? "
"You can get it now?" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li smiled. "Does Lady Lu agree?"
"Alright." Lu Yurong said, "If you deliver it, Elder Xi and the others will also do it!"
Chu Li nodded. "Lady Lu, please let them depart now. Before they arrive at the House of High Duke. I will personally present it! "
"… Alright!" Lu Yurong said slowly.
"Then I'll take my leave first!" Chu Li closed fist saluted.
As he said that, his figure disappeared.
Lu Yurong looked at where he originally stood and pondered.
After a while, she lightly got up and left the backyard to the hall of the House of High Duke.
Sitting in the hall, she gave a few orders and soon, Xi Wu and the other five appeared.
"Lady Lu," Xi Wu closed fist saluted.
"Elder Xi. The six of you will depart to the Yi House today. "Lu Yurong said," Once you arrive, go find Chu Li. "
"Kill Chu Li?" Xi Wu quickly asked.
Lu Yurong shook her head. "This time, it's to help him."
Xi Wu was stunned and looked at Lu Yurong in disbelief.
Lu Yurong said, "Elder Xi, this wedding will not be peaceful."
"According to the news I know, the public houses are very calm at present." Xi Wu shook his head. "If we don't make a move, they don't have the intention to do anything. After all, it involves Prince An."
"The martial arts factions will not miss this opportunity." Lu Yurong sneered. "At this time, temporarily put down the grudge with the Yi House and help them!"
Xi Wu nodded slowly and understood Lu Yurong's meaning.
The House of High Duke had internal strife but when it came to the martial arts factions, they had a unified position, just like a constable and a thief.
If the Yi House of High Duke were to be humiliated by the martial arts factions, they would lose their prestige and deterrence. The Ren Public House would also suffer damage and the martial arts within the borders would become restless.
Lu Yurong said, "The six of you go. If you encounter any assassins, capture three of them!"
"Three …" Xi Wu smiled. "That's no problem!"
Lu Yurong said, "I have already made an agreement with Chu Li. He has the heart of a villain. He is afraid that you will deliberately let the assassins escape, so he specially made this agreement. We must not break our promise!"
Xi Wu said sternly, "Lady Lu, don't worry. We will not be careless! … Capturing three Grandmasters with six people is definitely not a problem! "
"Alright, then let's go now!" Lu Yurong said, "But you must be careful and guard against the surnamed Chu Li!"
"Lady Lu, although Chu Li is cunning, he doesn't seem like that kind of despicable person." Xi Wu said.
Lu Yurong waved her hand. "Go."
Xi Wu and the other five closed fist saluted and left the hall.
Lu Yurong sat in the armchair, thinking about when Chu Li could deliver the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden jade sculpture and how he could get it from the Imperial Residence of Prince An.
